The Reasons I Love GNUstep -- Speaking for Free Software

Recently, I had a discussion with RMS about being a speaker for Free Software. In the end I was told simply to record some of my talks and that I would be given some feedback, but during the discussion I explained why I think GNUstep is important to free software and I believe that this is something that I think is important for other people to understand as well:

Hey Richard,That shouldn't be hard to do. I get invited to speak about GNUstep alot. Not just about the technical aspects, but about it's importanceto free software.While I have your attention, I would like to tell you the following...I tend to see GNUstep as very important to the free software movementas it facilitates developers moving away from environments such asCocoa and UIKit. Apple has always been a power for control and anenemy of freedom which is why I am so passionate about GNUstep. Idon't like that they have locked down users like they have.I realize that the rest of the community may not share my view and,honestly, I have been somewhat disheartened as of late as I havealways had trouble getting other developers to see GNUstep as I do.They focus on GNOME and KDE and consider Objective-C ugly or notelegant. I think that's a shame. Which brings me to my final point.Apple has recently introduced a new language called Swift. It hasbecome abundantly clear that they have no intention of releasing Swifteven as open source (which I understand is a different movement, butit would, at least, be a step for them in something which resemblesthe right direction).I feel like speaking about free software and, specifically, speakingabout how GNUstep can play an important role in it is why I would liketo be listed on the speakers list. It would give me more of anopportunity to speak out about Apple's evils and generally raiseawareness.Thanks, GCSo, if anyone would like me to come and speak about free software or about GNUstep, please let me know. I would be grateful for the opportunity.
